Crystal Gay MageeMarch 6, 1941 – June 9, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Crystal Gay Magee on June 9, 2026, in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Born in St. Thomas, Ontario, Crystal spent the majority of her childhood and adult years in the community where she grew up, building a foundation of lasting memories, hard work, and deep family connections. In her later years, she brought her enduring warmth and strength to her home in Richmond Hill.Crystal is now peacefully reunited with her beloved husband, Douglas Magee, who predeceased her in 2007; her parents, George Matthew "Hugh" and Jean Alice (Paine) Tales; and her siblings, William Hugh "Bill" Tales and Elizabeth "Betty" (Tales) Giles.

She leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love and will be deeply missed by her three children: Edward and his wife Elaine, Brian and his girlfriend Farima Azimi, and Michelle Bodley. She was a proud and devoted grandmother who will be forever cherished by her grandchildren: William (Liam), Brennah, Natasha, and Jordan Bodley.

Crystal is also survived by her dear sister, Jeannie Suitor, as well as her loving nieces and nephews.

She will be fondly remembered by her extended family and friends for the kindness she shared and the life she lived.

A memorial service to honor Crystal's life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Richmond Hill United Church—her cherished church family that so warmly welcomed her into the community when she moved to the area.

A private family interment will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Richmond Hill United.
